I am not sure if someone posted this already or not. I searched couldn't find it.

Actually, I haven't decided yet. I'm going to save up $5,000 (probably take me a while), and by then...I should know.

Advantages:
1. You can whoop the heck out of the M Roadsters now.
2. The SC doens't have any "lagging" effects to torque below 6K rpm.

Disadvantages:
1. This is my daily driver, I would like to keep the wear, tear, and abuse to a moderate level.

I have decided to get the SC. I am planning on waiting until my car is out of warranty...but things do change.

I would add "I'll think about forced induction when someone comes out with a cost effective programmable ECU that allows proper timing and fuel control"

But seriously, I'll probably stay NA. Seems a shame to spend all that money on a masterpiece of normally aspirated engine only to boost it. If I can pick up 20-30 hp from cams and some other tweaks I'll be happy.

The car is certainly not lacking in the power dept, but if I had an extra $5,000 (which I don't) I would probably go for it. Five grand for another reliable 100hp sounds like a good deal to me!
